I know I'll get flamed for this.
When Dennis Allen former Saints coaching staff member became the head coach of the Raiders one of the first things he did was try to steal Bill Johnson from us to be his Defensive Coordinator, the Saints denied him permission to interview Johnson. Link
Johnson is a veteran coach with 20 years experience, he has an intimate knowledge of the coaching staff currently here as well as the strengths and weaknesses of all the defensive players. He has had experience and success coaching 4-3 and 3-4 style defenses. I'm pretty sure he would lean heavily towards the Bum/Wade Phillips one gap style 3-4 seeing he coached with Wade Phillips. I realize that many here dislike Johnson altogether and would rather have seen him out the door with Spags, but the guy has skins on the wall.
